Saku, I do feel bad for US Based consumers as I am one of them! Overall, I find Huawei's solutions to be 1/3 the price of the equivalent Juniper/Cisco. The only the stopping me from buying them is the fear of it being hacked due to the media. Like the S6720-EI is MEF certified, runs MPLS, and is $3500 with a lifetime warranty. Please let me know if anyone else comes close to this number. On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 10:31 AM, Saku Ytti <saku@ytti.fi> wrote:

Yes looks like they are both under pressure. I feel bad for the USA based employees. I know Huawei has quite a few in Plano, Texas.
Feel sorry for US based consumers. Historically protectionism always hurts the local economy most. By creating artificial demand on local products, over time local products become uncompetitive for export.
I wonder, in what fundamental way Cisco and Juniper are US products, Huawei and ZTE Chinese products? To me it looks like Cisco has no development on IOS-XR outside India, components and assembly is in China. Shareholders are people holding Vanguard/Blackrock. What makes US company a US company?
